Enchanted

Herself is not particularly jewelry-oriented.  She prefers silver to gold, and simple pieces to anything ornate. At the same time, she is also fond of all things tiny and whimsical.  Behold, whilst perusing the interwebs the other day, she came across a lovely site that provides simple, quaint and fanciful ornaments for humans: enchantedleaves.com.  Run by a wife-and-husband team who create and market a wide variety of tiny and seemingly meticulously crafted pieces, the site's tagline is:  jewelry inspired by the land, sky & sea, + geeky things we love! 

Indeed! There are woodland items -- leaves, seeds, fruits and vegetables, and animals of all kinds; there are flying creatures -- birds and bats, and butterflies and other insects; ocean creatures -- seahorses and octopedes and squid and fish, not to mention miniature ships and anchors.  Best of all are the nerdy delights, from the realms of Lord of the Rings (leaves of Lothlorien, an Elven arrow, a Dwarf axe, and a Bag End hobbit door) and Harry Potter (an 'expecto patronum' stag, as well as an 'Always' doe, and snitches and the deathly hallows symbol, and such). There are also miniature instruments and tiny office supplies and tools, and a minute microscope as well as a TARDIS and a magic lantern. Silver and copper and brass and colorful glass.  Something for everyone.

Herself thought at first that she'd post a picture or two of some of the particularly noteworthy items. Choosing, though, is impossible.  There are too many tiny delights. She does think that she may well be able to find meaningful gifts for the Offspring there. That idea alone is enough justification to peruse the site at length and admire all the wonders there.

This one is titled, "Long live Hedwig!"
